Driver freed from Gap Road car crash

Alice Springs police say Gap Road has reopened after a car hit a tree early this morning.

Watch commander Siiri Tennosaar says the ute driver was trapped in the car and had to be cut free.

She says police are asking anyone who saw the accident to contact them.

"It turns out the sole occupant of the vehicle was a 38-year-old male and he was trapped in the vehicle as a result of that collision and the fire service personnel cut the male free from the wreckage and he was transported to the Alice Springs Hospital," she said.
